Orphanage 2
The sample dance and song were finished.
As far as I was concerned, this was an abrupt exhibition of an example before they had even had a chance to greet or introduce themselves, but I guess it made it easier for the children to talk to each other.
Thats right, instead of orphaned children and noble young ladies, their relationship is now orphaned children and the seniors who will teach them singing and dancing.
A once-in-a-lifeti chance that could greatly improve their food situation.
In order to take advantage of this opportunity, they cannot afford to be intimidated, no matter how aristocratic the other party may be.
The sample performance acting? As soon as its over, the children in the juvenile group have free ti. They had a chat with the children from the orphanage.
The main group quietly snuggled up to them and encouraged the children who had not dared to speak to each other and remained downcast in silence. They never intervene and take the initiative in the conversation.
This was just a social event for the juvenile group and the orphanage children though
After leaving the assistance of the exchange to everyone in the main group, Micchan and I went with the Headmaster into the Headmasters office inside the building.
Yeah, well have to discuss the details of the arrangent.
******
Ive read the gist of it in your letter. Generally, theres no problem. (Michelle)
S- so, then (Headmaster)
Yes, we will cooperate with you. Orphans are also important citizens of our country, and they are treasures that will be carrying the future of our country. (Michelle)
Oh, thank you! (Headmaster)
No, theres no way wed co visit and say we wont take it while dragging along all of the mbers
Well, if shes an adult who operates on profit and loss, it wouldnt be surprising if she were the daughter of a haughty aristocrat steeped in an electorate ntality, she would look disgusted at the request from an orphanage and kick them to the curb.
Considering the Headmasters age, its only natural that shes been through that many tis.
So I guess its only natural that she couldnt fully believe it, even when the reality was in front of her.
We showed off the performance of the juvenile group, but shes probably expecting us to say, Ho~hohohoho! Its 100 years too early for an orphan to imitate us! and go ho
No! What kind of villainess do you think we are?!
The details will be explained by Mitsuha-san, the vice president. (Michelle)
Youre throwing it all at ?!
Well, Im the one paying for it, and I dont think the daughter of the Marquis will talk about troubleso things.
I wonder if its only natural for the entourage and attendants to explain things like that instead.
But even then, Micchan is only a mber of the nobility because her father is a Marquis, and not herself.
On the other hand, I, the head of the Viscount family, am a noblewoman myself.
So which one of us is greater?
No, of course, normally a person from a Viscount household cant be rude to a person from a Marquis house~, just use common sense
But Im considered royalty from another country in this country, so
However, people think that my country is a small one and this is a bigger country
Besides, when it cos to the nobility of ones own country and the nobility of another country, commoners usually give priority to the nobility of their own country.
Hmm, I dont know
Well, that kind of thing, it doesnt matter. Next ti, I will ask Marquis Bozes or the King.
Even though we are in different countries, we probably have those things in common.
And, well, thats why were eting on the practical side.
As for musical instrunts, well solicit donations of second-hand items that have been replaced by nobles and wealthy people and are no longer needed.
Also, we would like to ask musical instrunt stores to cooperate and donate items that they have taken back as trade-ins or inexpensive musical instrunts.
I think that the advertising effect of cooperating with the orphanage and the advantage of being able to connect with a large number of noble girls are quite attractive for musical instrunt stores.
Also, it is possible that musicians from commoner backgrounds will patronize such establishnts. (Mitsuha)
In response to my explanation, the Headmaster nodded with a happy face.
Yes, while castanets and triangles are expensive, most percussion instrunts, stringed instrunts, wind instrunts, and so on are even more expensive. Even if its for the Society, its not so easy to donate new instrunts. Even a pseudo-xylophone is not sothing that an aristocratic girl can easily buy with her pocket money.
So we have no choice but to solicit donations and contributions.
But Im not that worried about it.
It may be difficult to collect donations and contributions with no benefit.
But if you add rit to it, itll be part of the sales effort. Nobles and rchants would certainly catch on.
What Im worried about is
So, collecting musical instrunts aside, does anyone have a talent for playing?
Today, we, the main group, will do it, but we cant be doing it all the ti.
As daughters of nobles, we are busy in many ways, and we cannot allocate all of Societys ti to the orphanage.
Were collecting instrunts so that we wont be in charge of the music.
If were the ones playing, theres no need to go out of your way to acquire second-hand instrunts. (Mitsuha)
Yeah, this.
Our juvenile group has a support crew called the main group.
But what about the little children in the orphanage?
No matter how many instrunts are available, theyd be aningless without soone to play them.
The juvenile group also used only simple instrunts such as pseudo-castanets and pseudo-triangles.
However, it only beca possible because of the main groups performance.
If records, recorded tapes, or sothing exists in this world and they can play them, then thered be no problem.
But here, where such things dont exist, all performances must be live, and the perforrs must be there.
An orphanage with no money would not be able to afford to hire a musician.
Its impossible for Society to volunteer for every event.
And for the children of the orphanage to perform, there are problems like proficiency.
Low lung capacity.
Small hands and short fingers.
Percussion instrunts are still a challenge, but to freely manipulate stringed and brass instrunts is sothing that cannot be managed by enthusiasm and effort alone.
In Japan, they sell musical instrunts for small children.
But most of those are just toys or educational toys, only a few are serious ones.
Stringed and wind instrunts that can be made with the technology of this world, that are easy for even small children to handle, and can produce authentic sounds would be ocarina, recorder and maybe a ukulele?
It seems that the most important thing in wind instrunts is the breath control technique, not lung capacity, but thats probably the story of soone who has reached a certain level of proficiency. Its also based on the premise that a minimum lung capacity is needed.
For a young amateur child, lung capacity will still be a barrier.
So, either remove the wind instrunt or limit it to ones that do not require much lung capacity
No, to begin with, how can you expect a decent performance from children, even the oldest ones are around 10 years old, and most are much younger. A fake performance?
It is said that children of noble families are given a certain amount of musical education even at a young age.
But these are not children of nobility though.
What are we going to do now?
